[I Am Legion]

I am excited to see this.

Really? I actually liked Nosferatu

Awfully dull to me.

Awfully dull to me.

I could see why. Eggers does have a “slow burn” type of style. I think he’s doing werewolves in his next film

I saw it on Thursday and I'm seeing it again tonight, so that should tell you that I liked it quite a bit. Here are some thoughts, in no particular order:

• If you get the chance, go watch it in IMAX. There's an aspect ratio change that happens in a couple of important scenes.

I watched this video last week. It looks like the film is being released in something like 8 different formats. I'm going to try and catch the IMAX release if I can.

Really enjoyed this. The music, the acting, the visuals, the comedic moments. I felt it went a tad too long but that’s minor. 9/10

 

[stalehotdog]

Just watched it. Coogler knocked it out of the park. Michael B Jordan’s best performance. He has to get an Oscar nomination. Great acting and dialogue from all the leads.

Hailee Steinfeld’s best performance since True Grit

Delroy Lindo is a national treasure

Jack O’Connell was fantastic

The music in this film was perfect. My goodness

9.5/10

I had no idea Delroy Linda is British. Dude is one of the most consistently good actors. Never seen him give a bad performance.

Been watching Delroy since Spike Lee’s Clockers and been a fan since

He reminds me of all the the older black men who went to my church: funny, wise, stubborn, and wouldn’t hesitate to check someone disrespecting them.

I gave the move 8.5/10

Could have been 9.5or10 but the last quarter of the movie was a bit rushed IMO.

That said, only movie in a long time that I"m definitely seeing again. Was awesome

Also, LOL at anyone who thinks this is "woke" (whatever the fuck that is) - it's set in the 1930s deep south so how the fuck are race relations not going to be part of a good story. GTFOH with that "this is a woke movie" garbage.

Spoiler: Spoiler Mutha Trucker

It reminded me of a mix of Crossroads and Fright Night. The first half was fucking awesome and the vampire reveal was spooky as fuck

Box Office Upset - SINNERS Beats MINECRAFT With $45.6 Million in Surprise Easter Weekend Victory

Ryan Coogler‘s Sinners, starring Michael B. Jordan, more than found redemption at the Easter weekend box office. Ditto for Warner Bros.

In a surprise upset, the movie beat fellow Warners blockbuster A Minecraft Movie and topped the chart with an estimated $45.6 million from 3,308 theaters, including Imax screens, well ahead of an expected $40 million. Based on Friday’s gross of $19.2 million, Sinners looked to open to the latter figure, but a spike in walk-up Saturday business changed the landscape.

Sinners achieved its victory after earning near-perfect reviews and stellar audience scores. Overseas, it started off with $15.4 million from select markets, for a global total of $61 million.

Not that Minecraft, now in its third weekend, is any slouch as it jumped the $700 million mark globally. Based on early weekend grosses, it appeared the record-breaking video game adaptation would stay No. 1 with $45 million. Instead, it’s on course to take in $41.3 million from 4,032 locations in a double win for Warners’ film empire (family films are always hard to model on Easter weekend because of holiday distractions).

All told, Warners was the unqualified winner of this year’s box office Easter egg hunt in commanding 64 percent of the market. To boot, Minecraft has helped push year-to-date domestic box office revenue into the black for the first time in months.

Overseas, Minecraft pulled in another huge $59 million for a global total of $720.8 million, including $344.6 million domestically and $376.2 million overseas. It’s the first film of 2025 to have a shot at jumping the $1 billion mark in worldwide ticket sales.

Sinners boasts a strong start for an R-rated, original period genre pic. Per Warners, it is the best start for an original film since pre-pandemic times, when Jordan Peele’s Us opened to $71.1 million in 2019.

All eyes were on how Coogler’s Sinners performed, since the movie was made entirely by Warner Bros. movie chiefs Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy from start to finish. If Sinners continues to impress, the duo can now boast two wins in a row after several high-profile misses that reportedly made Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav consider replacing them, even if some of those misses were inherited projects.

Sinners boasts the best Rotten Tomatoes critics’ score of Coogler’s career at 97 percent. It was also graced with an impressive A CinemaScore from audiences and perfect scores on PostTrak.

Set in 1932, Sinners stars Jordan in dual roles as identical twin entrepreneurs known as Smoke and Stack. Having survived the World War I trenches and Chicago gangland, the brothers return after seven years to their segregated Mississippi Delta hometown, Clarksdale. They are flush with cash and have a truckload of liquor and a plan to open a juke joint. However, they encounter unexpected horrors.

Box Office Upset: ‘Sinners’ Beats ‘Minecraft’ With $45.6M in Surprise Easter Weekend Victory

Ryan Coogler's supernatural vampire pic starring Michael B. Jordan earned near-perfect reviews and glowing audience scores. It's a notable double win for Warner Bros. as 'Minecraft' clears $700 million globally

RT critics reviews have settled around the 97-98% mark while audience score has it at 97%. The film lands first A CinemaScore ever for a horror movie supposedly.

Imagine how successful the opening weekend box office would have been without the 10 or so Sherdoggers on this thread boycotting it.

That would have been another $200 easy.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

I don't have a dog in this fight.
Don't care what the reasoning for calling is 'woke' or if it isn't.
I care about numbers, and clear standards of successes and failures.

We all know the term 'Box Office Bomb' meaning the movie fails to make its budget back, and theaters take roughly half of the box office.

The 'Sinners' production budget was $90 million, so the total box office it needs to at least break even is $180 million, but that doesn't count the heavy marketing budget... which is rarely released.

So, it needs... a $250 million box office return? And that's just to break even after marketing?
After that it depends on your opinion how much additional profit does a studio have to earn for the film to be considered a 'success.'

No businessman would make a substantial investment into a project, with years of work, to call it a success after earning 103% of his investment back.

I go to movies on discount days(tue,thursday) for 5 dollars but I'm going to the accountant 2 instead so lower that 200 total.

 

[Mack Yancy]

Probably got a higher score because of the woke themes in the film. Not saying it isn't good it is just that woke films get rated higher.

You sound poor, among other things.

For whatever philosophical differences highlighted in this thread, what every single person can agree on is that when you have the chance to see The Accountant 2, you take it. Full stop.

Enjoy.

I moved to a smaller city that doesn't have imax - Im bummed, would have loved to see this movie in imax.

LOL,

boycotting it because a biased youtube rage farmer told them not to watch it because it is "woke".
